Endovenous Laser Treatment – EVLT

After locating the affected vein through ultrasound, Blank Vascular Center surgeons insert a thin laser fiber into it through a tiny entry near the knee. Energy from the laser seals off the damaged vein.

EVLT is a minimally invasive method, leaves no scars, and is done as an outpatient procedure. Patients return to light normal activities within a few days.

The high quality and cost-efficiency of our heart services have earned Abington Memorial Hospital recognition as a Blue Distinction Center+ for Cardiac Care® by Independence Blue Cross.
